Sustainability
Setting the pace of truly sustainable progress is doing things at the right pace – no back-tracking.
Harnessing chemistry as a force for good we are setting the pace of truly sustainable progress. Purposefully walking and not running, we’re driving long-lasting progress over short-term superficial wins, innovating a world that is fit for the future.
In order to do that, we must invest in real, long-lasting change within Scott Bader's own operations. This is our commitment to making a positive difference in what we make, how we make it and who we partner with along the way.
So, what are we doing?
Green energy
Green energy usage at all manufacturing sites, and aiming for the same at all of our locations to have 100% renewable energy usage across the Scott Bader Group.
Local energy
We aim to make use of local renewable energy projects and onsite generation whenever possible.

Improved monitoring
Installing advanced systems to track emissions in real time so we can act faster, smarter and more effectively.
Waste management
Driving towards zero to landfill at our manufacturing sites where possible, and ensuring we make use of recycling or renewable waste solutions.
To help us set the pace of truly sustainable progress, we are partnering with external specialists to improve our energy management and the modernisation of our sites around the world.
Schneider Electric
Nous avons établi un partenariat avec Schneider pour l'approvisionnement et la gestion de l'énergie verte sur l'ensemble de nos sites européens. La poursuite de ce partenariat nous permet de réaliser plus efficacement nos ambitions en matière d'énergie verte, ainsi que d'adopter une approche cohérente au sein du groupe Scott Bader sur la manière dont nous nous procurons de l'énergie verte et répondons aux exigences locales en matière d'énergie pour chacun de nos sites.

This partnership will help drive some of the key aspects of our goals moving forward by leveraging Schneider’s market leading position on energy.
Ecohz
Notre partenaire pour les certificats d'énergie renouvelable et l'aide à la gestion des émissions dans l'ensemble du groupe. Ils nous aident à suivre, à prouver et à utiliser l'énergie verte à l'échelle mondiale, réduisant ainsi non seulement nos émissions, mais aussi celles de nos produits.
